Bug ID: 70795 Summary: Pywikibot does not work on closed WMF wikis Product: Pywikibot Version: core (2.0) Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: Unprioritized Component: General Assignee: Pywikipedia-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: jayvdb@gmail.com Web browser: --- Mobile Platform: ---
It should be possible to access closed WMF wikis. The pywikibot family files prevent this, and result in errors when attempting to instantiate a Site for a closed wiki.
At least read API calls should be possible, and write actions depending on user-rights. e.g. stewards have edit rights.
